I was able to accompany fire pixers Big Dave, Fyregeek, and VFRSE3 on their road trip to Kelowna, British Columbia and finally managed to photograph this truck, which is due for replacement next year. Ladder 1 in Kelowna is this 1991 Grumman Panther 1250/250/102' ladder tower.

We were fortunate in shooting several older trucks that once served in Kelowna. Unit 13 is a 1961 ALF model 912 PMO with a 1050 GPM pump and a 500 gallon water tank. This rig is now owned by a retired Kelowna fire chief.

Engine 8 Alpha (Bedford Volunteers) 2011 Spartan Metrostar/Carl Thibault 1250/500 Halifax Shop ID - 11-531E Poorly backlit photo!! It was a drive by shot of opportunity that my wife shot out of the passenger window......
This is one of two new units Cochrane, AB has placed into service. Engine 51 is a 2011 Spartan Metro Star 24" RR LFD, Rosenbauer Central (1750/500/30F-A)

When Big Dave finally made it to the Vancouver area, CDNARFF and I joined him to photograph some of the trucks from around here. We stopped off in Mission B.C. where we photographed a few trucks. The newest engine in Mission is this recently delivered Hub Spartan Gladiator with 1500/500/30 specs.
Engine 4 at Mission is this 2009 Crimson Freightliner M2 CAFS engine with a 1050 pump, 1000 gallon water tank and 30 gallon foam tank.
